AI Breakdown

At a glance

The JetSpeed FT860 is way more affordable at $110 and gives you curve options, but it's noticeably heavier at 484g and limited to one blade pattern. The True Catalyst 9X3 is a genuine pro-spec stick built to NHL standards with a mid kick for shooting, but it costs $50 more and locks you into one flex (80) and one curve.
